2 Claims. 1

The present invention relates to toy vehicles as more particularlydirected toward toy automobiles.

The present invention contemplates improvements in toy automobileshaving cast chassis with integral opposite extending axle formingelements on which are secured soft rubber-like Wheels, the Wheels beingheld in place by the enlarged ends of the studs.

The accompanying drawings show, for purposes of illustrating the presentinvention, an embodiment in which the invention may take form, it beingunderstood that the drawings are illustrative of the invention ratherthan limiting the same.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan View of the chassis, the wheels being omitted;

Figure 2 is a side elevational View of the same showing the wheels inplace; and

Figure 3 is an enlarged inverted plan view showing the wheels in placeon the axles.

In the drawings, the chassis casting generally at l i. The chassiscasting is an elongated fiat thin casting having widened front and rearends [2 and I 3 connected by a narrower portion 14. The narrower portionl 4 carries four laterally extending axle forming studs having roundedends l6. These are placed just far enough behind the front widened areaand the front of the rear widened area to accommodate small rubberwheels H. The wheels are adapted to be pushed on to the axle studs andto contract after they have passed by the enlargement l6, so that theyare efiectively held against unintentional removal.

Since it is obvious that the invention may be embodied in other formsand constructions within the scope of the claims, I wish it to beunderstood that the particular form shown is but one of these forms, andvarious modifications and changes being possible, I do not otherwiselimit myself in any Way with respect thereto.

What is claimed is:

l. A toy vehicle, having a one-piece cast chassis with integraloppositely extending axle forming studs having enlarged ends.

2. A toy vehicle comprising a cast vehicle chassis having integraloppositely extending axle forming studs with enlarged ends, and softrubber-like wheels with axial holes through which the studs extend, thewheels being deformable to pass by the enlarged ends of the studs.
